Madison, WI –Senator Rob Stafsholt will serve on the Joint Committee on Finance in the upcoming session. The committee is responsible for all state appropriations and expenditures, including the state budget.
“I am honored to have been appointed to the Joint Committee on Finance for the upcoming session. It’s a responsibility I will take very seriously. I look forward to bringing a Northwestern perspective to the budget writing process and working hard to get a bigger portion our tax dollars collected in Madison to come back to our rural areas.
“I was happy to vote in favor of the previous budget. It was a truly conservative budget that responsibly funded the state’s priorities, provided tax cuts, invested in K-12 education and healthcare, paid down debt to save millions on interest and left the state with a surplus balance to ensure Wisconsin is set up for the future. We must continue to hold the line on taxes in this upcoming budget.
“With a projected $4 billion surplus, the state is again in position to return more money back to the taxpayers and make further investments in our local roads, workforce development, and schools. I look forward to getting to work.”
